sELF-IMPALED ON SHARP SPIKES
The Misunderstanding Torture of an Orien-
tai Beggar.

The Flesh-Lacerating Torture of an Orien-
tai Beggar.
Seventeen years ago the residents of Jub-
bulpoor, in the Central Provinces of India,
used to point with pride to beggar who had
established monopoly in his peculiar
branch of the profession, says the San Fran
cisco Eramiaer. His place of business was
at the foot of clump of giant bamboos,
about half way between Jubbulpoor and the
Rocks and as these people are long-lived and
seem to thrive upon their Affections, he may
be there yet. With the exception of cloth
around his loins he was entirely naked He
lay on his back with his eyes closed and his
lips moving in putative prayer, on four
legged table about two feet high.
His flesh did not touch the table, for long
sharp nails, driven from beneath, stood up
right between him and the board; and on
the points of these nails he rested. There
were hundreds. of them and they were not
more than two inches apart. On low stool
beside this uncomfortable couch was a tin
pan, which, when the day closed, was always
loaded with cowry shells literally inter
spersed with small copper coins. 1t was
said that this suffering beggar had wife and
many children whom he supported com
fortably by reclining upon the nail points
from the rising of the sun to the going down
of the same.
He could not, however, endure the scorch-
ing rays from the cloudless Indian sky, and
while he bore with becoming resignation the
outrageous puncturings beneath, he held a
large umbrella over him as a protection
against the solar attacks above. Possibly he
did not suffer SO much as his situation seemed
to indicate. His cuticle may have thickened
to the necessary solidity to battle the pene-
trating nails, and every point may have had
its own particular hardened cavitys to re-
ceiye it.
Every visitor gave this mendicant coin,
and many of them stuck pins into him,
under the impression that new wound how
ever insignificant, might make itself felt
above the dulled pain of the old ones. This
reasoning was perhaps correct. But the
Hindoos are stoical race, and this one never
showed that the pin hurt him. No blessing
for gratuities no curses for indignities could
be drawn from him. He lay there all day,
and when the sun set he arose, took up his
bed and his tin pan with its contents and
walked home,

old puppies" while Major Smiley lends as
sistance with stentorian yells of s'Whoop-
e-e ~ "Rise 'em out ?'' ''Tetch him off, Her
eticp' ''Hear me now!''
The dogs need no second bidding. They
scatter and are away in an instant-some on
the wheat-feld hill, some on the cliff, some
ranging the meadow, while Jock. a little wire
haired terrier, and Bep, a diminutive fox-ter-
rier belonging to Dick, become inflated with
the belief that they are hounds, too, and race
off with shrill yelps to join in the chase.
Old Don, sober, conservative pointer who
has stolen along unnoticed with the pack,
bounds away also, ready for anything that
may turn up.
The fat cattle scatter in obese surprise
before us as we trot down the meadow, and
toss their heads menacingly at the hounds.
Jock catches one by the heel and gets lift
in the world that makes him wiser, but does
not dampen his ardor. We make track
through the heavy moisture on the green
sod, and old man Ruggles, turning in his
saddle and resting horny hand on his
woolly horses rump surveys it with vast
satisfaction and /" lows that the stink of the
foxll lay like polecats." The sun just
peeping up sends red CLEAN that touches
every object with bright red-like Greek fire.
Suddenly old man Ruggles makes sign
for general halt. Hush r. hesays; didn't

they carefully examined.
We fished for two hours and then
we determined to start down the wind

fish in bag and tied them securely to a
seat, so that they should not be lost in
case of an upset; then climbing aboard

element. We stopped time and again
to lure some trout from favorite resting
places until we got absolutely tired of
catching them. We arrived in Del Norte

day 100 pounds of trout, and the boys
said it was really not good day for

then cut across the country arrive breathless

while Don, the old pointer, looks on snuffily,

Oysters i'm France.

The two principal centres of oyster culture
in France are at Arcachon and Array. The
Bay of Arcachon has, since 1854, held a
foremost place in oyster breeding. In 1857
there were twenty parts or district oyster
beds; in 1865 the number had increased to
207 with an output of over 10, 0O0, 900 oysters.
At the present time the little bay, which has
total area of $1,000 acres, has oyster beds
covering an area of $1,000 acres which pro-
consumption. With regard to the oyster
beds at Auray on the coast of Brittany these,
though not so important as those of Area
chon, have still considerable output, and,
from being exhaustive and unproductive
when their rehabilitation was first undertaken,
have become full to OVERLOOKING.
